King's Lynn V Coventry 29th April


Recommended Posts

It's pouring with rain at Heacham (13-miles from the track) with no breaks in the sky at all.

 

It is forecast to clear away this afternoon, and as someone has already said, Buster will provide a good track if it stops early enough. Rain apart, it's so bloody cold and windy, it's not going to be comfortable for anyone, when oh when are we going to get some warm evenings????

Should we be concerned that the preview is released the night before the meeting but still no guest named? Sounds like they may be finding it difficult to find somebody.

They will be waiting to see who the fans name on hear first :wink: ..... At least they listen to the fans :D

Who

Rides in NL

Number 26 on draft list!!

The draft is a good thing it's just a shame that people who are available don't want to ride.

I'm talking about the ranking on the list. Huge advantage to Kings Lynn as no heat in reserve races and the other race he isn't replaced in.

Who

He's a very good prospect Bee 26, but that is for the future and not now.

 

He'll race his heart out, as he does for Mildenhall, but Elite League is a step to far I'd have thought. The fact that Ashley Morris hasn't found his form yet, might enable Connor to keep on the pace with one rider tonight. I wish him well though.

 

Incidentally, summer has arrived this afternoon.....i.e. It's not raining now, and is drying out, but jeez it's damned cold.

Conor Mountain guesting tonight!

Shows what a joke this draft is

Woah, we have to be careful criticizing the draft. It's been good to us the last 2 seasons. Oddly it's only Coventry who twice now have struggled so badly to find a guest.

 

Anyway, if Ash Morris is confidence is so shot, tell Jason to shove Morris out of the way on bend 1 and Connor can get into 3rd and might be able to hold of a low on confidence Ash Morris. Similarly, hopefully Havvy will be telling our boys to give Bjerre some stick on bend 1 so he throttles off and ends up at the back.

I don't mean the actual draft. I mean the way it's ranked. Wasn't it King's Lynn last season though we struggled to find a reserve for and raced with just 1. That time it fired the team up.

 

Thanks to Mountain for guesting when others wouldn't.

No Storm lads available to ride for Bees?

 

Connor Mountain scored 10 for Mildenhall earlier on in the season at Lynn versus the Young Stars. On current form he'll give Morris a run for his money.

 

Besides, despite getting to the grand final, Bees managed to keep hold of their first choice draft pairing from the get go, so let's not whinge about the draft too much eh?

 

Looking forward to a tight meeting against 2 teams who I expect to be in the playoffs come September (along with Poole and Belle Vue).

Oh well, good luck to the lad.

 

Didn't Andy Mountain used to ride at Lynn?

Yes, Andy who is Connor's dad, did ride at King's Lynn. They both rode in the same Amateur Meetings last season.
